I haven't written anything on this blog for a few weeks. I can't remember the last time I actually worked out for more than one day a week. Those are two facts that it almost pains me to actually admit. These aren't the only areas in my life that I've been slacking either. I haven't… Continue reading Self-Care September

Some of my favourite memories are from road trips. Over the years, I have taken a lot of different trips to different locations with different people. Some drives were short and only a few hours long, and some were longer, even to the point of being a few days long. It seems like road trips… Continue reading 4 Road Trip Essentials

Ian and I recently got back from our first week of holidays this year. We set up our tent for a week of camping at Duck Mountain Provincial Park near the Saskatchewan and Manitoba border.

I've talked about determining your priorities, how to identify if something is a "need" or just a "want" along with some other money-saving tips.

It's time for my goals for quarter 3 of 2018! I honestly don't understand how we are already halfway through the year. It's seriously going by so quickly, and I'm not ready for it to almost be winter again. I know that we are technically a ways off for that, but it's going to be here… Continue reading Q3 Goals: Find Adventure

It's crazy to think that we are already half-way done this year! I gotta say, I'm really liking doing quarterly goals as opposed to monthly goals. I feel like I'm more focused on what I want to accomplish, and I have more time to put into each area. My overall focus this year was to… Continue reading Q2 Goals: A Recap

A big reason I am writing about my No Spend Year is to help keep me accountable. When I have my readers (however many of you there are) to answer to, I'm more likely to stick to my goals. So, for the purpose of full transparency, I wanted to share with you what I have… Continue reading What I Spent Money on from January-June

A healthy lifestyle is made in the kitchen. You can workout as much as you want, but unless your diet is on point, you likely won't see the results that you want. Food can sometimes be the most complicated and daunting part of trying to have a healthy lifestyle. For some people, that may mean… Continue reading 5 Kitchen Essentials for a Healthy Lifestyle

If you've been around here for awhile, you'll know that I'm currently participating in a No Spend Year. I decided to do this for 2018 because I realized that I was spending money frivolously and needlessly. I was buying things that I didn't need, and spending money on items that I didn't really care about. I… Continue reading 5 Things I Continue to Spend Money On

I don't know about you, but I feel a HUGE change in my mindset once the weather turns nice. In winter, I focus more on just getting through the day-to-day life. Once spring hits, everything changes. I start looking forward to things and plans start to come together. I thought I'd take some time today… Continue reading What I’m Looking Forward To: 2018 Edition

My sister and I spent time in Calgary during the summer when we were younger. We would stay with my grandparents and we had some favourite places that we would visit regularly. Some I still go to once in awhile, like the zoo and Heritage Park. Others don't exist anymore, like Easy Street. That was… Continue reading Clip ‘n Climb YXE

I'm not much of a people person. It's not that I don't like people, it's that I'm an introvert who gets mentally, emotionally and physically exhausted from high amounts of social interaction. I have a small friend group and most of my closest friends don't live anywhere near me. Being this way, I have long appreciated… Continue reading 5 Things Everyone Should do Alone & a Giveaway

Even though it still feels like winter, summer is coming. Summer often means taking trips out of town for a much-needed vacation. It's commonly thought that it's too difficult to stick to your healthy habits while travelling, especially while staying in a hotel. It's easy enough to stick to a routine when you're at home and can… Continue reading 5 Ways to Be Healthy while Staying in a Hotel

I am ready for this second quarter of 2018. Winter weather has been dragging on for about 7 months now, and this quarter means warmth. Last quarter I focused on "A Fresh Start" but I have really struggled to come up with a theme for this quarter. I had ideas floating around in my head… Continue reading Q2 Goals for 2018

In an effort to change up my goal-making this year, I decided to focus on quarterly goals rather than monthly. It's crazy to think that the first quarter of this year is already coming to a close.

Not long after I started this blog, I decided to try the SlimFast 14 day challenge. The jist of this challenge is that for 2 meals a day you have SlimFast, one regular meal and 3 snacks. I wrote about what I ate and what my results were. Still, to this day, those posts are… Continue reading How to Pick a Diet and Why I Won’t Follow One

It still amazes me when I hear that some people don't do any sort of meal prep or planning. I don't remember what my life was like before really diving into it, but I'm sure it was much more stressful. How many times have you woken up in the morning and not known what you… Continue reading 5 Tips for Meal Planning and the Benefits Behind It

The first home I had was a 600sqft apartment style condo. It was small, but it was all mine. I've always loved bright colours, so I picked one wall in each of the three rooms to have some fun with. I'm talking fun in the form of blue, green and orange. It was bright, bold, and… Continue reading Home Tour: Closet

I have a love/hate relationship with running. I love it because I can push myself. I can run further, faster, longer. I can work hard and see results and improvement from it. On the other hand, it can get really boring. It's not so bad in summer, I can run outside and have a change of… Continue reading 5 Ways to Avoid Boredom on the Treadmill

2017/18 marks my 29th winter. Prairie winters are no joke, especially in Saskatchewan. They often start in the middle of Autumn and drag into mid-Spring. This winter alone has seen quite the variety of temperatures. Within a 24-hour period, we will experience a 20 to 30-degree drop in temperature, only to have it rise again… Continue reading 5 Tips for Surviving Winter
